There’s no reason to be afraid to call your representative. You’re their boss. They work for you. Go get ‘em.
Seriously this is the conversation:
Receptionist: Representative X’s office?
Me: Hi, I’m Joe from Hollywood, here’s my zip code. I wanted to notify my representative that I oppose the SOPA and the Protect-IP act, I feel they put an undue burden on search engines and will ultimately lead to internet censorship on par with Iran and China.
Receptionist: I’ll forward along your message, thank you.
Me: Thank you

Seriously, go do it!
In case anyone was having phone anxiety, here’s a handy script (and typical conversation) of what to say. (Thanks Joe)
We can’t claim credit for this, but we share the sentiment.

I want to keep this in my wallet to pull out and show people when they ask why I’m not on Facebook.
Yes yes yes.
Oh god. Creeeepy.
